The Leaning Tree Chords by Minister Win Thompkins And The Stompers

This song is for all the moms and the papas who've been leaning on the Lord a long time and for all the young [G] folk
Who think they have all the [C] time in the [G] world to get their house in order.
Look at here
The leaning tree is not always the first to fall
[Em] _ Doesn't matter the [D] age [Em] when you get called
_ [G] While you're young and strong [Em] God may [C] call you home
[Em] The leaning tree [Am] is not always the [G] first to fall
Let me say it again.

_ _ They have the time to play and roam
You better get your house
[C] Before death do appear.
[Em] You never [C] know the time to be [G] even here
